Question

I need help on this:The perimeter of the square below is 36 yards. What is the length of each side?

Answer 1

Each side should be 9 yards because to be a square each side is equal. a square has 4 sides. 36/4=9

Answer 2

Hi so remember the perimeter of a square is 4 times the side. so if the perimeter is 36 then you can divide 36 by 4 to get the answer 9.

36=4^x
36=4x
36/4=x
9=x

to cross check if ever unsure times the (side) by 4 if it matches the given perimeter.
